JAN,
Looks like you started something with this post - hope Mark has enough room to hold this thread. I won't try to top Shelly's post, WOW - busy, busy, busy. I have three children her age and never new what a music note was before last Sep.
I regret not haveing been introduced to music as a child and not having the foresight to encourage it in my children. I am on my third teacher (I'm rough on them) and as soon as I get the "counting" thing down, I'll be auditioning with Pete and Eddie,
Through the years I've not had much interest in clasical music - mostly jazz - but since taking up the clarinet I have the local clasical station (WRR FM, Dallas) prgrammed into my car radio. I love Dvorak's (sp) New World Symohony.
Have fun all.

OH! BTW - I just have to share this with you. At yesterday's clarinet lesson, after my complaining about the bordem of the Rubank Elements book (with no real recognizable music to play), my instructor had this to say. "Just consider this as clarinet boot camp." You see, he and I are former US Marines (no such thing as an ex-marine). He played in the Marine Band. My tour in Military Police preceded his by some 15 years or more.
